some perspective, please...., page-2

Hi mac,
Good to see a long-termers opinion.
Regarding the last announcement: I agree with you, I don't think people should read too much in to its lack of sophistication.
It was clearly meant as a strategy guide (after brief financials posted two days earlier) and I guess it was prepared on a rushed basis -as a result of a direction given to the CEO -caused by shareholder pressure.

The CEO has clearly been very busy since taking over recently, and appears to have started to breathe life into the US Data-Dot operation, as evidenced by their agreement with the insurance company and this new seed technology agreement.

Incidentally, seed identification is not synonymous with GM foods. Plant hybrid research has been carried out since Gregor Mendel became known as the “father of genetics” as an Austrian monk for work carried out before 1865. Protection of developed hybrid seeds from theft or counterfeit is clearly important.
